SHOULD I CALL HR??

Hey, i applied for a nicu position at a well known hospital. Finally 6 months later received an interview. I believe it went very well. Hr told me my pay and all. Nurse manager gave me a tour of the unit and had me meet potential co workers and doctors. Even spoke to me about orientation. Its been over a week and havent heard back from the hospital. Sent thank you emails as well. I guess im just feeling defeated because ive been applying for a rn position for over 6 months and nothing has happened. Just want to finally be working and put my license to use. Should i follow up with hr again after i called once, i hate to be a pest!

I always tell people to call back and see how things are going.

I called this morning and another said the recruiter for hr will call me back and he never did.

my aunt also works on the unit and when i left the interview called me saying the mangers loved me, but still no response back from hr

I would give it time, I know the waiting can be very frustrating, but you don't want to come of as inpatient or needy. If you have the nurse recruiter's , or more importantly the nurse managers email send her an email saying thank you again and you were just wondering if she had made a hiring decision, but I would give it at least another week before doing so.

Good luck!

Thank you for your input. Im going to wait it out hope for the best. Another week sounds good than Ill call again and see where the process is at. :)

It took 2.5 weeks before I got the job offer I wanted after an interview. Some hospitals are very slow. I emailed twice letting the manager know my interest so I wasn't forgotten. I think I was the first interviewee. I did call HR once to inquire if the position was filled after 2 weeks.

Yay congrats!!! You will love the NICU i bet!! I just got hired at a Children's Hospital after trying for years, and I too am so nervous and excited. Had similar situation where it took forever (5 weeks from my first interview) to hear, after two interviews and a shadow experience, and then finally reference checks!!

Good luck with the new job!
